30 Minutes Workout - Virtual Scenery - Treadmill / Exercise Machine (Cotswolds UK) 1080/60fps
Treadmill? Exercise bike? Cross trainer? Rowing machine? Flying carpet? Beat the boredom with a virtual tour around the picturesque Hobbit Shires of Gloucester and the Cotswolds, while you work out for a full 30 minutes. SEE NOTES BELOW REGARDING SPEED...
The music was made by me and I acknowledge not to everyone's tastes, so do feel free to mute and use your own music :o)
(Best enjoyed at full 1080p @ 60 frames per second)
SPEED NOTES: I've had some feedback comments regarding the speed of the video not being "realistic" and not accurately representing running or walking. Before publishing, I experimented creating the video at various jogging or cycling speeds, but found with the slower speeds, the visuals got tedious very quickly.
In the end I settled for real-time driving speed which provides sufficient changes of scenery to keep the visuals interesting, bearing in mind most people will be using this video as a distraction from the tedium of exercise anyway. The faster speed also allows you to see much more of the area than you would do at slower speeds. :o)
Turned 70 last year and decided I needed more exercise so invested in an exercise bike and now enjoy travelling the world on it.Thank you.
Me too!
Awesome ladies your inspirational
Good for you! Keep going! 😁
❤❤❤
@@osakarose5612 I just bought a cross trainer 2 wks ago! I just now finished "my ride" through this gorgeous countryside. i could live there. but where do you buy coffee? lol
My workout this morning. This 80 year old doesn't feel so hemmed in due to the current virus situation, with videos like this. Thanks.
Best wishes to you Sheila! ❤️
You inspire me!
WoW!

Hi! 80 is young. Keep it up!
On the 15th passing anniversary of my lovely British husband, I am on my treadmill sharing this run through the Cotswolds with his spirit since we never experienced it, together. I miss him like the sun...Miss you, Philip...
How poignant and beautiful...and this is a beautiful area. It took my mind away from my troubles and the issues of this world. I am sorry for your loss and wishing you blessings from my little corner of the world to yours.
May he rest in peace
🤗👍
🙏😕🙏
The Cotswold is a beautiful place. A good place to remember him.
Fighting off depression by trying to just get out of bed - this had the perfect amount of trees and beautiful countryside to make getting on my stationary bike actually worthwhile. Thank you SO MUCH for this. It's going to be a delightful habit... and I'm going to make it one by blogging about it. :) At first the speed felt a little hectic but then I made an effort to just enjoy it for what it was, and it turned out to be quite nice. Thank you again - now my brain is woken up enough to start studying for the day! :)
Hello! Have you tried reducing the playback speed? (The little gear icon at the bottom right of the screen). I've started a fitness and health channel focused towards those who are working through depression/anxiety. I'm actually trained in mathematics, believe it or not, with a second degree in psychology. I haven't quite found a place in society yet, so in the meantime I'm enjoying video editing. I'm still at the stage where I'm trying to figure out ways to improve my videos. I have a couple walking videos with hiking footage. And am looking into just posting the raw outdoor footage, something similar to this video. Check it out, you may like it. Stay strong. Also, I'd be interested in reading your blog, if it's public.
Hope you're better now. I've gone through that before.
This is more like flying than any exercise
I literally clicked on the comments to see if I was the only one thinking this is wayyyy too fast for a bike. Thanks for the laugh & confirming.
Who cares just get on with it stop scrolling and get your ass moving , Yous are in my way 🤣🤣🤣🤣🏋️🏋️🏃🏃🏃🏃
@@Lauramia24 I didn't like the speed at first but then it doesn't matter, the countryside is so beautiful and at speed you get to see much more
Wh Oooo......Slow Down.....
I felt dizzy watching this while on the treadmill. Adjusting the speed to slow it down is much better.
Your virtual scene is amazing!! This is the first time I've been able to run/walk on my treadmill for full 30 mins w/out watching the clock every 5 mins. This will be my new inspiration video. Thanks!
Agreed!
Hey there! I completely understand your struggle with trying to keep yourself motivated during workouts, it can be a real challenge. But I have to tell you, ever since I started using the freebeat Lit Bike, my workouts have been completely transformed! The immersive experience of riding along with stimulating music truly keeps me engaged and feeling like I'm accomplishing something meaningful during my workouts. Not only do I feel like my exercise is more effective, but I look forward to my daily rides on the Lit Bike, excited to see what kind of experience my next class will bring. The virtual scenery is amazing, and I really feel like I'm getting a full workout without getting bored or feeling like I'm just going through the motions. Thank you for sharing your experience, and I encourage you to give freebeat a try if you're looking for a new and exciting way to enhance your workouts!
I love this! I'm a 70 year old grandma and during my younger days, running has helped me a lot. In 2007, I joined the Annual Army 10 Miler Run in Washinton DC where I used to work. I was 58 years old. I finished the run in 2 hours 44 minutes. Now at my age, I only hit my treadmill with your video to keep me healthy. Awesome!! Thanks a lot!
Wow 244 ...amazing
Somethings lay in wait and how they were put or placed there, has been the liberty of many words from a statement, that forsees, for the positive outlines drawings a future holds and is not refuge by anymeans. Holding the hands with another and hold F. 😊 31:23 .
You go girl👍👍👍
Felicidades!!! 😊
I walk on my treadmill using this music. I have been listening to this music for a long time. Thank you for the video.
Thanks God, at 72, I’m still running on my treadmill, 3 times a week, with the help of Rickvanman’s 30 minute video. Way to go!!
I first saw this three summers ago and always remembered it. It is one of the most beautiful cycle rides I have seen online.
My first time workout using this video. My husband bought us a simple easy exercise bike and I am just beginning. I enjoyed this video with beautiful scenery and music. It allows me to go at my own speed and intensity. I will be 69 this week and am looking forward to going the distance with this workout.
Really helpful video. Normal I quit after 15 minutes of so, but your video pushed me to me 30 minute goal. It really fooled my mind into wanting to see what's around the next corner. You are helping regular people. Thank you 😊
I'm so grateful for this. Thank you so much. First time I've ever achieved a full 30 minutes on my exercise bike. Usually manage ten. Thanks x
This is perfect! I can't stand slow videos where you feel like you're getting nowhere-fast. I like an intense bike ride. Thanks so much!
Thanks Rick I watched this and love the colours of the British countryside. what a beautiful country we live in. like the music too. I don't do excersize but this was my virtual work out for the day 😊 I need a coffee now I'm worn out. brilliant thanks again Mike
This ride through the Cotswolds has become my new morning “work out” . Thanks,
Definitely one of my Top 5 videos for the treadmill!!
Love this! I wish I had discovered it earlier. I used to watch TV while I was on my stationary bike. This not only motivates me but also seems to make the time just fly by.
Original from the UK now in Canada this is a great way to start my morning, walking through my home countryside. Great video and music. Thanks.
Perfect for riding indoors over winter!! Thank you so much for keeping my legs moving whilst sightseeing! 🥰
You're so welcome!
More than a few record covers and movies have been inspired by this scenery loving it!
I am from Brighton, England, originally, now in Arizona, USA. This is such a blessing!!! Thank you for the wonderful views and memories Rick, keep making these wonderful videos. Cheers.
Thank you so much. That made my workout more enjoyable and I got to do a bit of "travelling". Thanks.
I am so grateful to have found this. Thank you Rick, for those of us many miles away from home, this is truly wonderful! :)
I bought a roller to bike in my house due to the COVID 19 quarantine I live in Colombia and I am fascinated by this video because it is recorded in England, one of my dreams has been to ride a bike in London because it was what I liked the most when I met him and with this video I feel like I do, I love it. Thank you
Come to Sweden if you’re interested in these natures. I run everyday here and it’s like a paradise! :)
Thank you, it made riding my stationary bike much more enjoyable and I stayed on it longer.
Brilliant mate, I started this a couple of years ago when on lockdown and this was my first video that I rode with everyday. I will be 70 in February. My blood pressure has decreased to approx 55- 60 BPM ( resting) thanks to this video, music is pretty good as well.
Hi Rick I,m now doing the bernese alps followed by both the Hawaiian volcanoes and I finish in the bernese alps. All up nearly 5 hours🤤 It's a hard life but someone has to do it! LOL I can't thank you enough letting me leave my pain threshold for dust!
THANK YOU FOR THIS AWESOME VID!!! Using it here at the gym on this rainy day in Port Townsend, Washington USA
Ameiiiiiiiiii
Obrigada
I'm sure there are other good virtual hike/bike/exercise vid's out there, but I just keep coming back to "the Cotswolds!" Spot On +Rickvanman!
Wonderful! I use VR glasses on a crosstrainer and this video is one of the rare ones that make for a wonderful, quiet experience without too many bends (motion sickness) and a great view.
Thanks rick i,ll check it out. I did check out another season but the weather was much better here. this is so beautiful it's hard to care. It feels like the first day of the rest of my life!LOL
I LOVE your workout videos! They keep me sane while I have to run the DreadMill! Since I live in the Eastern US, the scenery is so incredible and I feel like I'm super tall and running fast! Before I know it, I've run 5 miles! I've shared your link with all my running friends! Thank you!
I've been using this workout video to get in shape during covid. I play it twice to get a full workout. It's active enough to bike to, but not totally agressive. The scenery is awesome. I also like the sunset feel.
I've been using this for over 2 yrs on a recumbent stepper due to knee issues. I'm not tired of the scenery or the music. Best ever "biking-treadmill" video.
This is the best to watch during indoor cycling training. I set up a tv stand/flat tv infront of my bike trainer.. it's an awesome escape from my world. Thank you for making this!!
That's the first real full work-out I've done with this bike! The video totally helped my motivation.
I actually LOVE the speed! Please make more!!!
This is where I started nearly two years ago!😍 I can't thank you enough Rick for starting me off on a wonderful journey. I just finished a two hour virtual bike ride across the alps and before that I did a 6 hour ride along the Autobahm. But this will always be special. This was where I broke in my body. This made everything else possible. 🤗
one of my favorite videos when I use my elliptical. I like the speed- it keeps me going and I love the music! makes my workout fly by so quickly!
This one is just great, love the music and the scenery, revisiting old haunts. Also is good for motivation to get on the treadmill in the first place and then keeps you going longer than intended!
Your video helped my time on the exercise bike go so much essier! I loved it! I live in Canada so I loved looking at the beautiful English scenery.
Six weeks out from major wrist/arm surgery and three weeks out from torn hamstrings and gluts. First time completing 30 minutes of anything - in this case, on my cycling trainer. And to do it watching beautiful UK landscapes. Thankyou.
My wife and I try to walk to this every morning for at least 15 minutes every week day. Like one of your other walking videos that has similar music and scenery as well!
Amazingggg thank you Rick! We went all the way from Pakistan to the English Countryside for our honeymoon. It’s soooo beautiful. Will be cycling at home in pakistan to your awesome video. Brought back so many happy memories from 20 years ago. God bless you.
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it
God that was intense! LOL A little bit better that time because I dressed for the occasion, wore my bike pants, brought water,stopped when you stopped and i,m a tiny bit more familiar with the run but it's still one hell of an intense 30 minutes. Loving it thanks Rick!
I'm going to say this again: It's been three years, and this is STILL my favorite cycling video. It's the perfect length and is just so nice overall! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Wow, thank you!
Wow, thank you for this! Making it a daily part of my exercise regiment. It's the best one I've run across thus far! PERFECT for my daily dual trainer bike exercises! And what a beautiful scenery to get-away-from-it-all! THANKS! :>)
Fabulous video, Rick. I still love to see the old English countryside (live in Oregon now), especially when the sun is shining and there are blue skies. I have saved this video to my bookmark tool-bar for regular viewing (motivating, I hope!). All the best to you. Be well.
Too bad the whole trip is cycling into the sun, which distorts the view. Should have reversed the route.
Alphons Gunther Too bad you can’t play it reverse to go east!
Comment: Hey there, I also found out about this amazing project called freebeat Morph 2-in-1 e-Bike. It's a revolutionary eBike that combines indoor fitness and outdoor exploration. One of its outstanding features is that you can charge the bike when you use it indoors! It also has a powerful motor and impressive speed, which makes riding a lot more exciting. Plus, with its innovative Smart Saddle Detection+ feature, you can easily achieve your fitness goals. It's definitely worth checking out if you're into e-bikes! Stay motivated and keep enjoying your workouts!
Love everything about this the scenery..the countdown..the music..the speed..thank you for making my workout so much more enjoyable.
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank You for this video. Never Stop Running.🙏🏼🏃🏻♀️💪🏼🧼🧽
Thank you for providing us with a video with such an exceptional landscape, giving the impression that we are really cycling in this place, even while on the gym bike! I am from Brazil
As a 70 year old, I like these videos when on my exercise bike, but I do find the music distracting. What I do is, to replace the music with real bird song and other country background sounds. This makes it a more realistic ride through the country. Thanks
Сбасб❤
That's why the video master is considerate enough to make mention rather includes a pre phrase please mute & put your own preference in... understanding people are unique in their taste for enjoyment.👌
this is perfect exactly what I was looking for something to occupy my mind while I pedal away
Exactly what I was looking for in a scenic cycling video. 30 minutes cycling on a stationary bike feels like nothing now. I feel like I am actually going some where! :) Thanks for the upload, very beautiful scenery! Reminds me of where I went to college. Music is pumping too. Thumbs up
I love the speed because it keeps me going and not wanting to slow done and the scenery is beautiful¡ thank You!
Hey Rick this is lovely music and scenery. Love it.Thanks for sharing with us all.
Thank you so much Rick, and the speed is good, It feels like I'm going 20 mph instead of 5....like a super runner
Great video... I rode my elliptical while enjoying the British rural country side. Hats off to dry stone walls!
This is pretty much my morning elliptical workout. Enjoy the English countryside, the stone walls, houses and barns and the immaculately trimmed Beech hedges.
I come back to this amazing video time and time again. Absolutely love the ride! Sometimes I listen to country western hits, sometime the Beatles, sometimes blues music. It's always an uplifting thirty minutes! Thank you, thank you!
Came across this and it just makes you feel so good!
Thank you SOOO much for this energetic music to help make exercise on my treadmill fun!The time of 30 minutes is perfect. I will definitely view this often.
Ahhhh... I film natural sight and sound gopro walks in soulful cities, and I'm a real lover of slow TV, so it's great to see there's more of these wonderfully simple video's out there. I really enjoyed travelling around for a while with you. Thanks for sharing, I have subscribed.
Absolutey love this video and the music. During covid and work from home it's nice to get on my exercise bike after I finish work for the day and take a scenic tour of my former childhood home. Thank you so much !!! Now living in Canada
Wow, UK is so beautiful. Thanks you so much 🌈
I absolutely LOVE this video! I've looked at several cycling videos and this is by far the best. I feel like I'm going for a bike ride, not sitting at home trying to exercise since there isn't much option for outdoor biking around me (definitely nowhere this beautiful!). I find that this daily "bike ride" has become one of my favorite times of the day. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I really wish you would make more of these videos! I think they'd be a hit!
They would!
I'm in love with this! I've never been one for exercise, but after dealing with grief and just unhappiness with my image, I decided to start exercising. I thought an exercise bike would be the first thing I'd invest in and now I'm so glad I did! I go at my own pace, and the music really helps me structure out a workout routine! Thank you so much💙
just had a great 30 minutes cardio on my stationary spinning bike enjoying this beautiful English countryside :) thanks Rick!
These videos are really great! I'm glad someone took the time and efforts to create these. Really adds a lot more enjoyment while on the stationary bike. Thanks!
Thanks for posting this video. Just finished my workout. This is brilliant. I enjoyed the magnificent scenery at sunset and the music.
Thank you. I love to cast this to my TV and take a walk on my treadmill.
I jog on my treadmill and this video made my workout FUN!! Thanks.❤️
Love the scenery and thanks so much for the perfect music. Hello from WIsconsin in the USA
Thanks so much for this video. I have tried hard to find something on KZhead that I could watch while on my treadmill that would be uplifting and motivating. THIS IS IT! I'm 61 years old and trying to lose weight and don't love exercising so I really need something motivating. Again, thanks so much. I'm subscribing hoping you will do more of these videos. And if you need to charge any nominal fees or even sell DVDs, count me in! Thanks again!

Hey buddy. I just wanted to tell you there´s a company called "Virtual Active" that has been doing this professionally, and they have a big collection of vids with gorgeous sceneries all around the world, all of which you can purchase at their website. There´s another platform called "BitGym" who does a similar thing, worth checking out as well.
I tried both BitGym and Virtual Active...... I won't comment on what I think about both...
D Tomate The BitGym App free version has has great 10min rides and walks. The paid version has obviously got more.
I use this video several times a week for my workout. Many thanks!
I used this video while on my exercise bike. I rode the whole video and instead of using my game app to wind down for the day, I hopped on the bike! Thank you for the inspiration, and beautiful scenery, to keep going even when the bike seat got uncomfortable.
Thanks for this video! I've been looking for something like this! Please produce more clips like this one. I love the English countryside and it's so motivating seeing everything while running in one's basement.
Thank you for this upload! I use while on my stationary bike. Perfect speed! 👏🏼 Intense!
English countryside at its best, a lovely time of month and day. Watched this a dozen times now, great stuff Rick.
You are THE AWESOME DUDE!!!! Thanks so much, Sweet Heart, for this BEAUTIFUL video. I actually look forward to my time on the treadmill now to listen to the upbeat music and racewalk through the stunning, pastoral countryside and quaint villages. Thank you so much for sharing these. God bless you and His blessing be on all who watch these.
This is awesome. Thank you.
I did it!! I have never run this long on a treadmill! I guess cuz I find it boring, but this brought incouragement👍👍
Great to hear, well done :o) Glad the video helped.
Thankyou so much for this. I get on my excerise bike in the morning and go for a ride round the cotswolds. It really does vastly improve a bit of a boring workout
I love this! Thank you, Rick Clarke for all your Cotswold videos. They are of a most beautiful world and I appreciate you sharing with those of us, who are not likely to ever get there. In this lifetime. As a consolation to know, we are in the very heart of Kentucky horse country, which is also beautiful enough that your Queen Elizabeth II visited us. I fell in total love with England reading Charles Dickens in my younger years. Nowadays, books aren't my only source of information to keep me in love....
I've used this video for my rebounder runs, it's one of my favorites, the filming is smooth, the pace is perfect and I love that I'm in New Mexico but "running" the UK countryside. I so appreciate you and thank you for a great video!
You're a beautiful person.
Loved the video Rick, thanks for taking time and effort. Would be great to finish in a pub car park, so I could pretend that too by opening a cold one from the fridge.
Great idea...a virtual pint 🤔
I am recovering from knee surgery. I love the music , the pace, and the timer on the screen!!
My lockdown virtual exercise! Thanks whoever uploaded this video.
Beautiful video! I didn't know this was a thing. To run on a treadmill while watching a video showing panoramic views. But this might have save my treadmill workouts. I can't thank you enough for this.
Thank you l love everything about this video, I can do my runs/ jogging right at home come rain or sun but this is a treasure that works with my phase watch me m loosing the weight your video has motivated me and l m not ashamed but I loving every step - wow 4000 steps in 30mins l can do this thank you thank you 😊
Stay motivated
I had a terrific workout on my treadmill thanks to this video. I loved the scenery and the music it was great. Thank you😊
Thanks! Used to live round there. A great way to spend 30 minute on the stationary bike. Can't wait to go back to the gym to Watch your other one!
I have a treadmill and exercise bike , and a 42" tv in my garage. This is perfect for running, walking or cycling on any of those and experiencing some beautiful countryside without leaving the house. Thumbs up from me.
I am so happy to find this spectacular running video. Love the beautiful scenery, it motivates me to run and powerwalk at home as if I am imagining myself in the other side of the world, I have no excuse to say running is boring. No more couch potato! Thank you so much for this video! 🚶🏃💓💕
What helped me to get off the couch , I moved the exercise bike into the sitting room, opposite the couch, cant forget now !!!
You must run really fast!
Pretty impressive to see planes right next to the road by the sunset! The vegetation grows around the road like a tunnel, beautiful!
Thankyou ! I was bored with the elliptical and this helps ! The scenery is beautiful !
I found this astoundingly more enjoyable than I expected. It's the first day of Corona lockdown so put the exercise bike I never use Infront of the wall mounted TV and it was awesome. Great music too. Thanks a lot.
hi Rick can't say it enough I love you I love you I love you outstanding music I enjoyed your video so much thank you thank you thank you from Dallas Texas USA
Hi Peggy, thanks for the vote of confidence :o) Glad you're enjoying the video :o)
I just discovered your videos and can't thank you enough! I have a spin bike in my house and am missing my trips to the UK... This has helped lift my spirits tremendously while helping me get in a great workout. THANK YOU!!
I love this video. Perfect for a quick half hour ride. Thank you!🇨🇦🚴♀️🙏
